Tom Lockyer says he has "been given the all-clear" to resume his career after having heart surgery to address the problem that saw him collapse during Luton's play-off final win at Wembley.

The 28-year-old had an atrial fibrillation, a condition the NHS describes as causing "an irregular and often abnormally fast heart rate".

It caused the defender to collapse in the eighth minute of the Wembley final.

"I've had the operation to fix it and it shouldn't happen again," he said.

"There's not really any reason to say why that happened.

"I've been given the all-clear - it is what it is and I just want to draw a line under it now and move on.

Page expects Lockyer Wales return in September
"I've had my full heart checked and double checked with all the scans and tests they can do on a heart, and they've all come back positive."

The Luton captain is "thankful" his team-mates went on to secure promotion to the Premier League with a penalty shootout victory against Coventry City.
